That's just a joke I'm too stupid to get right?

You make a physical representation of something digital which also changed denomination quite often the last 10 years?

What do I do with it?

I mean first of I need to check if the value is on that note so I need a smartphone. Now I have a smartphone why do I need a note?

The only useful thing would be if I as the giver don't have a smartphone but than I also need to give away a printed object. How cheap can someone print something like this?

Now Bitcoin makes even more garbage?!



My favorite part is the pictures of it on the website.

"Hold your corporeal money next to other real things, like pizza and gameboy cartridges and magic the gathering cards. This is a real thing. That you can own. Like this baguette, or this tamagotchi."


You missed the part where the private company 'authenticates the bill being cut in half' in order for them to surrender the private key.

So, in theory, the bill has the printed Satoshi value and doesn't need a smart phone to verify. Rotlmao.

In practice, the company gets hacked, loses all the keys, and now all these bills in the wild look legit but have no value. Also, they will be counterfeited like all other bills, except easier because thier not a government mint.


It’s not really a joke, but it is a little funny. It’s just a really fancy ‘paper’ wallet. I actually love the concept. I used to make paper wallets for myself and friends, and this is basically the best version I’ve ever seen
